The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Society & Culture:Relationships
An amusing discussion about mindful decision-making with 18-year-old Liam Mahoney, a high school senior.
In this episode, Liam shares his college decision-making process.
He showcases his extremely abundant mindset, his positivity bias, and why he chose to become a UC Berkeley 2028 rather than a UCLA 2028.
Liam shares how he made an authentic decision for himself despite conflicting advice from his two brothers and his grandparents. He shares why he didn’t let the opinions of his peers influence his decision. He also shares what parents can do to be helpful to their children and young adults in the decision-making process.
Our discussion also touches on the luck factor, the strategy of having your own back, consulting your future self, connecting with who you want to become, and the value of patience and sitting with a made decision for a while.
We hope you will leave inspired, amused, and better equipped for your next big decision.
“Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.” - Paul Coehlo, The Alchemist
